Lala - The Next iTunes?

A site where you can buy music online. Let's see... We have Rhapsody. We have iTunes. We have Zune Marketplace. We have Amazon. We have Wal-Mart. We have Napster. And now Lala?

But don't worry this one is different. According to TechCrunch.com:

Fortunately Lala’s real potential stems from its integrated media player and your web library (which looks a lot like iTunes, but in the cloud). At the top of the screen is a music player that will continue playing whatever song you listen to, no matter where you navigate on the site. And you’ll have lots of content to play: users will be able to play any song on the site’s massive catalog in its entirety exactly one time free of charge.

"Users will be able to play any song on the site’s massive catalog in its entirety exactly one time free of charge." With 6 million songs, it's like browsing through the iTunes Music Store, and previewing a song, but instead of previewing for like 20-seconds, you get the full song.

I've been listening to Lala.com for a couple hours and even though I highly doubt I'll ever buy music from it, it's a nice way to explore new music on-demand.
